Lyrics Quiet Dog - Mos Def

Quiet Dog

One thing I want to assure them
If they think I’m going to change,
and compromise my attitude, my way of life.
in my expression.
or in my…
goal- What’s politics?
They are making me stronger… and I’m much more
stronger now
To the bang to the boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie to
be… to the rhythm of the boogie to be
Their it go like simple and plain with prominent basic/ zulu arrangement,
rockin amazement/ flocko/ radio from heaven to pavement/ phony is the face but
nothing to play with/ spent time hating it, but that ain’t changin it/ God gave
it to me, nobody is takin it/ therefore, move it on the bass for stimulus/
standing in the twilight, I’m watching them get it in/ the walls are tremblin/
the air is simmerin/ she’s moving like more than the ears is listenin/ WHOA NOW!
/ testin your equilibrium/ soundwave boomin all over your inniment (?
)/ skin on skin and skin on skin again/ put it all get it all/ get on,
get it in/ ladies and gentlemen, mistas and misses’s/ cousins and other
anto-and-synonyms/ there it is/ Boogie Man…
ha (stay cool) uh simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now (stay cool) simmer
down now, simmer down, Quiet Dog, bite hard, my God!
(Bang!)
So and uh rock it, don’t stop/ Brooklyn and the kids, heat up your stove top/
bang the empire/ stang the navigatin away/ bring your preservation made the
greatest hip-hop!/ the cool-dude swagger look terribly corny/ they flow so
petty, unsteady, it’s boring/ these dudes ain’t throwin, they yawnin/ they need
to get off it/ so «wack rap"is all you can call it/ therefore move it on to Def
for stimulus/ regardless what’s on it, what town you represent/ a bullet to
your audio settlement (?)/ a tower for tenement/ I’m molded from all of the
elements/ a simmer down and manage the mayhem/ I’m bright as the a.m.
/ engine like I roll out the station/ and blessed with the fresh since day one/
I got it today dun/ we all going back to the same one/ this constant motivation
I stay with/ remarkable flavored/ they all better market the greatness (?
)/ WHOA NOW!/ The Kid is from Bucktown/ your girl is in love now/ your chumps
gon front they get shut down!/ shhhuhhh!
(Oh my gosh) Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now (the music just turns me
on) simmer down now, simmer down now, simmer down, Quiet Dog, bite hard,
let’s rock!
and you don’t stop/ I say we rock to the rhythm you don’t stop/ I say you
maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ you keep up the rock and your
don’t stop the rock/ maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ you keep
up the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ maintain the rock and your don’t stop
the rock/ you keep up the rock
Quiet Dog, bite hard, my God!
